N then proceeded to address the Jury on i l tY a nd Prisoners, observing that it was to the hu- Lltuott,eKludness of the worthy gentlemen who filled the tt o tt 'hie e : f S heriffs, that the prisoners were indebted for his ertions in their behalf. The moment those orisoilersZiviu d thei ais heard of the ser i ous c h arge ag ainst the r destitute state, they were determined if guilty, they should not be found so without having their case sifted to the bottom. The Learned Cpunsel then mended to comment elaborately on the evidence, and concluded an eloquent address by expressing his firm con viction that the Jury would acquit both the prisoners. Mr. Justice GASELEE summed up, and The JURY found both prisoners Not Guilty of Murder ; but the female prisoner Guilty of endeavouring to conceal the birth, and the male prisoner as an accessory to that concealment. The male prisoner was discharged upon entering into his own recognizances in 50/. to appear next Session to answer any indictment th a t m i g h t b e pre f erre d agains t him. The female prisoner was detained in custody. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Maly Donald, a miserably clad, half-starved Irishwoman, was indicted for stealing three planes, the property of Edward Chapman.—Guilty. The prisoner pleaded distress. The Learned SERGEANT observed that he believed it was the practice of the magistrates to pass these unfor tunate persons to Ireland after the expiration of their sentences, and as the expense was only about 305., he hoped the practice would be followed, these wretched creatures having no resource but crime. Selim Cohen, 20, a respectable looking young man, was indicted for stealing three books, value 55., the property of Christopher Mudie and another. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution, that the prisoner was in the habit of purchasing books at tho prosecutor's shop, and that three books were found in his possession which the prosecutor identified as his property. On his cross-examination by Mr. CLARESON, the pro secutor admitted that the prisoner had left a deposit of 10s. at the time the books were found with him. The prosecutor had been indicted twelve months ago for re ceiving stolen goods, and his son had been six months imprisoned for a similar offence. The Jury at once returned a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing, on the 19th September, twelve books, value 10s., the property of Wil liam Holmes. The prosecutor deposed that he had known the prisoner for six years, and was in the habit of buying and selling books to him. The books now produced are his property, and they were never sold. The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. PHILLIPS. He had been in gaol for deserting his wife, and he had also been in gaol two years for selling Carlile's pub lications. He had been in prison on another occasion for six months. There was a young woman also in the habit of selling books in his sh o p, and his son, a boy of 11 years old, also sold books. He had a shop in Holywell-street, and one in Prince's-street. After a good deal of equivoca tion, he admitted that he was in the habit of selling very indecent publications. His son and the young woman told him that they had not sold the books in question. They are not in attendance. The Common SERGEANT observed that their statements to the prosecutor could not be received in evidence. A police-constable found the books now produced in the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. PHILLIPS was proceeding to address the Jury, when they expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was a third time indicted for stealing, on the 13th of September, 17 printed books, value 155., the property of George Heaton. _ _ . . - The prosecutor: keeps a shop near Clare-market for the sale of second-hand books. The books now produced are his property, and were never sold by him. His wife and son-in-law are in the habit of selling in his absence. They are not in Court. A police-officer found the books in the prisoner's lodgings. The prisoner did not hesitate about giving him the street and number of the house where he lived. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury, and called several witnesses of the Jewish persuasion, who gave the prisoner a good character. The COMMON-SERJEANT, in summing up, observed upon the circumstance of two other persons, who were in the habit of selling books in the prosecutor's shop, not having been called. If any doubt arose in their minds from that fact they would, of course, give the prisoner the benefit of it.—Not Guilty. The prisoner was a fourth time given in charge for steal ing, on the 20th of September, two printed books, value 2s. 6d., the property of Christopher Mudie and another. Christopher Mudie, jun.—The witness and his father keep a book-shop in Prince's -street, Leicester-square. The two books now produced are his property, and they were never - sold by him. The prisoner was for two years in the habit of purchasing books at his shop. Cron-examined by Mr. PHlLLirs—Witness was very unfortunate about twelve months ago. He was convicted of receiving books stolen from the Messrs. Ridgway. He was unfortunate, because he did not know at the time he purchased the books that they were stolen, but the Jury thought otherwise. His father bad been some years ago charged at the Mansion-house, but he does not recollect the particulars. Witness, his brother, and father are in the habit of selling in the shop. There is an entry made of all the books sold. John Young Mudie, father to the last witness—Never sold the books now produced. His sons Christopher and Peter, and a boy who attended the shop occasionally, all sold books. He had been before the Lord Mayor for purchasing books which had been stolen. He was in the Compter all night, and was discharged in the morning. The police constable proved the finding of the books in the prisoner's lodgings. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury at some length, com menting. with great severity upon the character of the wit nesses for the prosecution. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The COMMON-SERGEANT would strongly advise Cohen to get rid of the system of trafficking in books, which had brought him into so much trouble. He should consider himself very fortunate, and he hoped he would be more cautious in future. The COURT refused to allow the expenses of the wit nesses in any of the prosecutions but that of Geo. Heaton. Hannah Tudor, 43, was indicted for stealing three silk handkerchiefs, value Gs., the property of Henry Gosbell, her master. The property was sold to a pawnbroker, who could not identify the person by whom it was sold, and the Jury ac quitted the prisoner. She was again indicted for stealing two pocket-books, the property of her master, Henry Gos bell. The property was identified by the prosecutor, and the duplicates were found at the prisoner's lodgings. The prosecutor could not swear that he had not sold the articles, nor could the pawnbroker identify the person by whom the property had been pledged.—Guilty. SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Charles Hough was indicted for obtaining fraudulently, and by false pretences, a horse and chaise, the property of William Harris, with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof. The prosecutor is a livery-stable keeper, residing at Peckham, and on the 10th of October the prisoner called on him, stating that he had been sent by Mr. Ghrimes (a person known to the prosecutor) to hire a horse and chaise to go to Lewisham. He was accordingly furnished with a very respectable turn out, but which not coming home in the evening, as expected, prosecutor made some enquiries re specting his property. He afterwards received a message from the prisoner politely informing him that his horse and chaise were at the Black Boy at Seven Oaks, to which place he proceeded and recovered his property. It ap peared that the prisoner had hired the horse and chaise for the purpose of paying a visit to a lady at Seven Oaks, and that he put up at the Black Boy, where he ran up a score which it was not convenient to him to discharge, and he consequently left the horse and chaise as security for the amount, and having trudged to town, sent the mes sage above mentioned to the prosecutor. Mr. LENNARD for the prisoner argued that there was no proof of any felonious intention on his part. The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and the Jury acquitted the prisoner. A very singular story, we understand will appear in the Court Journal of to-Morrow, relative to the Princess of Wurtemburg. FATAL CAB ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday after noon, about half-past one o'clock, a most serious and fatal accident occurred, through furious driving, to a man named Richard Heygate, residing at No. 8, Peter-street, War dour-street, who, in crossing West -street, Soho, was knocked down by a cab, No. 1,805, which was driven furiously by a person named William Soliman, the wheel passing over his chest (which was literally stove in) and lacerated him in a most dreadful manner. The unfortunate man was imme diately taken to Mr. Wood's, a surgeon, in Moon-street, who pronounced his case hopel ess , an d h a d hi m remove d t o the Middlesex Hospital, wher e h e di e d yester d ay even i ng , in the most excruciating agony, and now awaits a Coroner's Inquest. The deceased was a most i n d us t r i ous man , an d has left a wife and large family to deplore his loss. MONEY-MARKET. — A better feeling prevailed yes terday in regard to monetary affai rs t h an f or some d ays , and, though the rate of discount cannot be quoted lower, accommodation has been much less difficult. In fact, the supply of money has been greater than the demand, so successful have the merchants been i n re d uc i ng t h e i r outstanding engagements. It is expected that this will diminish for some time the activity in the manufacturing districts, but that this will be amply compensated for by the more secure state into which commercial affairs will be brought. Harmony continues to be maintained between the Bank and the trading interest, and it is thought that all further advance in the rate of interest is abandoned.— nnet. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1836. LITERATURE. WINDSOR.--THURSDAY. HEATH'S PICTURESQUE ANNUAL. Longman, London, 1836. _ This work, though professedly an Annual, must not be confounded with the majority of its showy brethren. It has far superior claims on public attention ; the Editor (Mr. Leitch Ritchie) being not merely, like Dr. Syntax, a traveller in search of the picturesque, but one who gives a faithful and impartial and minute account of the manners, customs, national peculiarities, &c., of the various countries through which he passes. He does not content himself with describing what ap pears on the surface of things, but goes deep into his subject ; enquires and thinks for himself, and gives reasons for the faith that is in him. His present jour- nal of a tour through Ireland, is every way worthy of his reputation as a cautious and observant traveller ; he belongs, he tells us, to no party; swears neither by Orangeman nor Papist ; but furnishes us with the re sults of his personal experience in a spirit anxious to screen the defects of neither party, but to do justice to both. After an attentive perusal of his volume we have come to this conclusion, that Ireland must have Poor Laws. This is the " moral" that " points" his lucubrations. He found, he says, less political feeling in the sister-country than he was prepared to expect : but every where proofs of squalid misery and destitution, such as is without parallel in any State in Europe. These are his own words, and they are too remarkable to be forgotten I am of opinion that there is less political feeling in Ireland than in almost any other European country, and that there is a great deal less than there ought to be. I met only with religious dissensions caused by the circumstance of there being a State religion in the country, which is not the religion of the mass of the inhabitants, and embittered by the intolerance and bigotry of both parties ; but especially of the Catholics ; I met with feuds of names and families, such as cannot by possibility exist in any country where the laws are good and well-executed. I met with agrarian disturb ances, with bloody revenges, with petty pilferings of food, though few robberies for money, but above all things, I met with hunger—hunger I The Irish want no revolution ; they want merely food, clothing, and lodging ; they demand that the labourers of a country which annually exports millions worth of produce, shall have wherewithal to live by their labour." In another part of his work, when describing his arrival at Dunleary, he says, " On stepping upon the pier, I was made aware in an instant that I had entered a country totally different in character and manners from any other part of the British dominions. The stranger is welcomed to Ireland by the beggars Here they take a distinct and prominent part in the scene." What a cutting sarcasm is this on the long misgovernment of the Tories I Beggary—squalid, hopeless beggary, was the first thing that struck Mr. Ritchie's attention on entering Ireland. Wherever he went, still the same wretchedness was perceptible. He met with it at Dublin—he met with it at Cork ; it was the most characteristic feature of the island. But to turn to a more agreeable subject, Mr. Ritchie was highly delighted, not to say surprised, with the various scenic beauties and commercial capabilities of Ireland. The scenery, in particular, of the far-famed vale of Ovoca, and the equally famous " meeting of the waters" realized all his expectations ; and equally gratified was he with the " picturesqueness" of the bog of Allen. Lovely country, whose very " bogs"— unlike the degenerate ones in the north of England-- attract the eye of taste and discernment ! Our author is exceedingly happy in his sketches of native Irish character ; nothing can be more justly discriminated than his portraits of the " Irish Gentleman" and the " Irish Jontleman," the former of which characters he praises in the warmest terms, while the latter is the object of his marked contempt and reprobation. His volume :is penned in a lively, graphic, though some what loose and desultory, manner, and is enlivened by anecdotes and legends, each of which is full of " mark and likelihood." But decidedly the most attractive features of the book are its embellishments. These must have been got up at prodigious expenSe, and arc the productions of the first engravers of the day. If w• say that they are finer and more elaborately finished than any'; have yet seen in an Annual, since the first appearance of these elegant miscellanies, we shall not be praising them beyond their de serts. The view of Sackville-street, Dublin, with its long perspective of showy houses ; the ma jestic pillar in the intermediate distance ; and the gay groups of horsemen and pedestrians that enliven it, may be equalled, but cannot be excelled. This gem is by Wallis, from a design by Creswick, and is re markable for the exquisite finish of its details. The " Light-house at Howth" is another chef-dceuvre, and with its stern, rugged, solitary rock ; vast expanse of sea roughened by a quick breeze ; and frowning clouds ominous of tempest, forms a truly picturesque and im pressive scene. " Powerscourt Waterfall" is the sub ject of another striking view ; " Enniskerry" admirable for the way in which a difficult perspective is handled ; and " Lismore Castle," the seat of the Duke of Devon shire, in the county of Waterford, exhibits a magnificent display of hanging woods with a castellated edifice towering up above them ; and a rustic bridge in the foreground, below which some cattle are standing ankle-deep in water. But perhaps the most exquisitely wrought engraving is that of the " Meeting of the Waters," which appears to us to carry the art of en graving as high as it can go. From the nature of its subject, we have no doubt that the present volume of the " Picturesque Annual " will be more popular than any of its predecessors. It is unquestionably the chief of its tribe. BRIGHTON-THURSDAY. ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Between the hours of twelve and one o'clock this morning another de structive fire broke out in a house occupied by a Mr. Cum mins, situated in Hanover-square, Rotherhithe, and such was the rapidity of the flames that before they were extin guished, although the engines from the various engine stations of the metropolis were quickly on the spot, and a good supply of water obtained, the above premises. and two others adjoining, were totally destroyed, and several others greatly damaged. How it originated no person can tell, but is supposed the timbers of the building took fire. Unfortunately none of the parties are insured. One of the fire brigade, of the name of Fenn, belonging to Southwark Bridge Station, was severely injured by the falling of a party wall. He was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, in a dangerous state. THE BOOK OF GEMS FOR 1837.—The new and concluding volume of this splendid work is now ready. It contains upwards of fifty beautiful engravings, all from original pictures. A more desirable present-book could not have been devised. Its contents are " not for a year, for an age, but for all time." It is a book by itself. We believe that the combined talents of fifty-three artists were never before brought to the illustration of one volume. The dinner to the Liberal members of the Town Council of Bristol must have afforded to the Tories any thing but a flattering prospect of the forthcoming elections. There have been some disturbances among the coal miners at Mons, in consequence of an attempt on the part of the owners of the mines to lower the rate of wages. It was found necessary to send four companies of infantry to the spot, whose presence immediately restored tranquillity. A fine Woodcock was shot by Mr. Turner, near his lawn, at Staplegrove, Taunton, on Monday, which weighed eleven ounces. Mr. Waldron, of Wiveliscomb, also killed a brace on Wednesday last, and several have been shot on the domain of the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, M.P., at Overstowey.—Bath Chronicle. The last accounts from St. Petersburg speak of the heavy loss sustained by a highly respectable house, in con sequence of the misconduct of one of its confidential ser vants. The delinquent, who had previously borne the high est character, committed forgeries to an immense a moun t. The most active steps w e re taken to discover his retreat, but those as yet have unfortunately been attended with no success. The house alluded to suffers to the extent of 4,000 rubles. The King, accompanied by Sir Herbert Taylor, returned to the Castle from St. James's Palace at half-past nine o'clock last night. Their Majesties have not left the Castle to-day. To-morrow morning, at half-past ten o'clock, their Ma jesties will take their departure for Brighton for the usual season. The Royal suite, including the following persona ges, will accompany their Majesties :—Prince Ernest of Philippsthall, Sir Herbert and Lady Taylor, Miss, Des. bro we, Lady De Lisle, Miss Eden, who arrived this after. noon ; Miss Mitchell, Colonel Bowater, Rev. Mr. Wood, Mr. Davies, Captain Curzon, and Mr. Hudson. The route will be through Hampton Court, Kingston, Reigate, Crawley, and Hickstead. Their Majesties do not lunch on their journey. Lady Wellesley and Sir William Houston will leave in the morning for town. Sir Andrew Barnard, Lord De Lisle, and Sir C. Thorn ton left on Monday. The Marquis of Wellesley took his departure yesterday. Sir Wathen Waller left this morning. Lady Taylor and Miss Disbrowe arrived at the Castlo yesterday afternoon. Their Majesties, with their Royal relatives and suite, will arrive at the Palace to-morrow to dinner. Some of the domestics are already here, and workmen have for a considerable time been employed night and day in complet ing the various improvements which have been going on during the absence of the Court. Considerable alterations have been made in the interior. The Earl Of Errol has taken 29, Brunswick-terrace, and is expected shortly after the arrival of the Court. _ The Earl and Countess Brownlow have arrived at Brownlow House, London, from Belton Hall.

It being wished that the funeral should be strictly private, it was attended only by the nearest relatives of the deceased, and the tenantry upon the estates. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Last night Artaxerxes was produced at this theatre with great splendour of scenery, decoration, and dress, and with an admirable cast of the persons of the drama. Mr. Braham sustained the part of Artabanes with all the power of the olden time, and he introduced a young lady as Mandane, who is likely to prove a great acquisition to the lyric stage. Miss Rainsforth has a good figure, and a pleasing counte nance—in short her physique as an actress is unexception pble. She has a good and pure soprano, and she has availed herself fully of the instructions of her master, Mr. T. Cooke. She sang with the conscious power of an accomplished vo calist rather than with the timidity of a debutante, and we should certainly say she acted too much, if not too well, for one who for the first time faced an audience. The young lady, in truth, did so well on this occasion, that some might doubt if she ever can do better ; but even thus, we repeat, she will probably prove a great acquisition to our lyric stage. Mr. Bennett sang the music of Arbaces very sweetly. Miss Smith enacted Artaxerxes. She looked very oddly in her regal costume. She is a fine, bouncing, full-grown girl, whose beauties are by no means to be satisfactorily com pressed for the illusion of the scene under a male tunic. She sang prettily ; but she could not be expected to act in such an ungenial and unbecoming dress. The opera was received with rapturous applause throughout, and Mr. Braham hav ing led forth Miss Rainsforth, after the fall of the curtain, to receive the applause of the audience, announced that the new Mandane would appear every night till further notice. The Strange Gentleman, and other burlettas, followed. The house was crowded. We cannot conclude without expressing our pleasure at the mode in which the orchestra fulfilled its duties. Mr. Stansbury's accompaniments on the piano were executed charmingly. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

The late Countess Howe was one of the Ladies of the Bedchamber to the Queen, and an especial favourite. of their Majesties.

The Earl of Aberdeen, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Marquis of Douro, and other political opponents of the Whig Admi nistration, were present, and the Marquis of Huntly pre sided at the supper table.. REGISTRATION. ._-,. -~ COUNTY OF THE ISLE WIGHT. (Before JOHN HALCOMB and GEORGE POULDEN, Esqs.) The Barristers for revising the list of voters for the county of the Isle of Wight, opened their Court in the T4vn Hall, West Cowes, on Tuesday at 12 o'clock, and continued sitting during Wednesday, when the follow n 3 persons were struck off the list :—Reformers or persons suspected to be so by the Tories—Thomas Bevis, sold his property and left the Island ; William Cubit, Northset . pilot, in Holland, no one instructed to appear for him ; Joseph Rathborne, Roman Catholic priest, ill, no person appeared for him ; Thomas Harling claimed, whose rent wag 1001. per annum, as a 50/. renter ; but it was proved that he had let a considerable part of the premises ready furnished t;;.r a short period ; Mr. Halcomb, therefore, de cided he could not remain on the list, as he had not been in actual occupati,pn of the property for which he chimed the whole of the i vv vemonth as required by the Act. By this decision it appear: you must occupy to the amount of 501. the whole of the time .; if you let but one room for one day, you lose your vote r a: you reduce your rent under 50/. William Drover claim; as a freeholder, but as his mother and elder brother vvho were the trustees appeared to have a right reserved to then: in the claimant's father's will to sell the property for the zeneral benefit without consulting him, the Barristers decided it was not a freehold. James Drover's vote was - retained, .he being a trustee in possession. The following Tories were struck off :---John Dove, dead ; John Hart, dead ; James Civill, Abraham Doudne3', George Hansen, Henry Halliday, James Lyons, James Phillips, John Spencer, the Rev. Maximilian Geneste (whose case was similar to Mr. Harling's), and Henry Burnet Jacob, who claimed fora share in sixteen freehold houses, gave his residence as West Cowes, but had resided some years in Ireland—the notice was served on only ono of the tenants, but as no names of tenants were given, vor the numbers of the houses, after a long and learned dis cussion on both sides, the service was held not to be a good one, and the vote was struck off. The following Tories' fates are not decided :—James Denham, John Drinkwater, Wm. Stuart Day, William Horwood, George Marvin— part of their premises being in the borough of Newport, and Mr. Hearn, Town Clerk of the borough of Newport, not being present to say how much, the parties not being able to describe how high the tide flowed 200 or 300 years ago, before the present erections were made, or what would be the line of high water if the present quays, &c., were removed. Joseph Jolliffe, claiming for a freehold, said to be in the hands of his assignee ; David Lyons and Charles Shirley, claiming, with James Lyons, for one-third in a house in Carvel-lane, which it appeared by the evidence they never possessed ; the notice had been taken from house to house, but not one in the lane would acknowledge them as landlords, and at last left at a beer shop belonging to Mr. J. Hart, formerly the Tory solicitor, which at the last Court it was said they claimed for. It was not now even pretended that they had a house, only that the notice was bad, not having been served on the tenant. Mr. Poulden—" Why, if there was no tenant how could they serve the notice on him ; it is clear they have made every possible inquiry, but I will consult Mr. Halcomb." William Cushen Maynard claimed for a freehold house, having only a share ; on this ground several of the Reformers lost their votes last year—thus eleven Tories were struck off and nine adjourned, while only two, or at most three, Refor mers and two uncertain were struck, off and four adjourned ; one of which is a borough case, one joint-occupancy, and one trustee of the Methodist Chapel, house and stores, rental 1001. per annum—the last took up a great deal of time, and was most ably argued ; it is to come on again at Newport. In the Whippingham list one Reformer was struck off, and two Tories, and two Tories' cases adjourned ; (Lord G. Seymour claiming for Norris Castle, Sir G. Seymour for Truckles, each claiming for the whole, but had only a share). The Reformers have already a majority of 7 on the cases decided, which we have no doubt will be doubled when the adjourned cases are decided. This is a very different position to what they were placed in last year or expected to be in this, as the Tories by their tech nical objections, and Mr. Warren's special pleading, made sad havock in the Reformers' ranks ; they were led to ex pect a second edition of it this year by the Tories re-registering between 70 and 80 of their men, merely adding to their place of abode, West Cowes, "in this parish 7" The Reformers in self-defence took objections to all they had not altered : one case was selected for the Barristers' decision, when all the rest were withdrawn. The Barristers gave great satisfaction by their liberal de cisions though it told against the Reformers, whose errors had been visited severely last year, and made them more careful this, the nature of which may be seen by the fol lowing cases of objections made by the Reformers, but overruled by the Barristers :—Richard Dear, place of abode "parish of Mitcheldever," no town or county given, altered to " near Winchester, Hants ;" Arthur Webb, " Werrar," no town or parish given, only the name of the farm ; James Flux, Gunville, ditto ; John Pain, North Houghton, for a house called " Smithards," but on examining the notice of claim given in in 1832, it showed what blunders overseers can make, or at least were made, by Messrs. James Hollis and Claxton ; for in the original it stood" North Houghton, near Stockbridge, Hants," and the cottage was called " Hawthorn Cottage ;" the claimant had never heard of such a name as " Smithards," and by their alternations was brought forty miles to prove his right ; he had kept a copy of the claim, fearing the original might not be found, and by it saw the error. Could not these men be compelled to ply this gentleman's expenses ? The subscriptions received for erecting a monument to the late M. Carrel, of the Parisian Republican Paper the National, now amount to 560/. The revision of voters of the City of Westminster commences to-morrow, where the last registration has been very favourable to the liberal cause. THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.—There is a plea sant story told of a Spanish grandee in want of a bed at an inn, late one night, when being asked for his name, he enu merated the whole of his titles, which effectually closed the door against his admission. According to the Journal de Vienne the Emperor of Austria appears to rival tbe illus trious Spaniard ; whether this magnificence of style will be any obstruction to him hereafter is a curious question. The following are the titles which have been fixed upon for him by the present Administration :—We, Ferdinand the First, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, King of Hun gary and Bohemia, fifth of the name, King of Lombardy and Venice, of Dalmatia, Croatia, Sclavonia, Galicia, Lo donatia and Elyria ; King of Jerusalem, &c. ; Archduke of Austria, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Duke of Lorraine, Salzburg, Syria, Carinthia, and of the Ukraine ; Grand Prince of Transylvania ; Margrave of Moravia ; Duke of Upper and Lower Silesia, of Modena, Parma , Placent i a, and Guastalla, of Auschwitz and Zator, of Steschein, Frioul, Ragusa, and Zara ; Sovereign Count of Hapsburg and the Tyra], of Kihurg, Gortz, and Gradiska ; Prince of Trent and Brienne ; Margrave of Upper and Lower Lu satia and of Istria ; Count of Hohnements, Feldkirch, Bregentz, Sonnenberg, &c. ; Lord of Trieste, of Cattaro, and of the March of Wracks. THE LONDON FIRE ESTABLISHMENT.—It is important that the residents of the great towns and villages within twelve miles around London should know that in any emergency from fire the London Fire Establishment, as now constituted, is not only ready, but even anxious, to afford the assistance of its large engines and firemen to any extent, which the nature of the danger may require. Nay, further, a messenger arriving at the stations with informa tion of the outbreak of an alarming fire within the above distance around London, would be liberally paid on the following day, provided he gave the alarm in sufficient time to enable the engines to arrive so as to be of real service in checking the spre a d o f th e con fl agrat i on . The following atrocities, instances of which are of more rare occurrence among our neighbours than with us, happened at Di e pp e w ithi n the last few days. On Sunday evening the 16th instant, while the Cure of St. Martin , a village between Dieppe and Eu, was at supper with his niece and servant, about eight r.m., some persons knocked .. at the door, rushed in, stabbed the servant with a knife, and murdered the priest and his niece. He was much re spected, and had nearly attained the advanced age of eighty years. On Tuesday, a man named Vincent Degre, went into a public-house at Oaville, with a friend , whom he in vited to take a glass or two with him, but on the recke,iiing being called he found that he had no money , and his frond paid the score. After this the friend in joke cut off the the rim of his hat, at which Degre only laughed, and, and both parties left the house. Degre, however, being met by some acquaintance, they so joked him about the damage of his hat, saying the landlord had played him a pretty trick, and that he ought not to put up with it, &c., that the weak infuriated man returned to the h ouse , w h ere fi rs t me eting the landlord's wife he felled her to the ground with a stick, and then attacking the landlord beat him in so dreadful a manner that the p oor man on l y surv i ve d a f e w hours. The assassin was immediately taken into custody. Poor Jack, the ourang-outang, at the Garden of Plants, Paris, has been so severely indisposed since the weather has been so damp and cold, that the faculty enter tain apprehensions of his not going through the winter. His affection is an acute pleurisy. He is visited every day by four or five eminent physicians, who hold frequent consultations on his case. Several distinguished profes sors of the Garden of Plants also call on him, but he re ceives all his visiters ill, except the negro servant of the giraffe, in whom he expresses great confidence. To bleed ing, leechi ng , c upping, and other remedies prescribed, he manifests the utmost aversion, and, instead of the patience and resignation so desirable in his situation, betrays mo roseness, depression, and irritability. . The remedies applied have hitherto produced little effect ; his movements are slow, his skin cold, his eyes dim, and a fatal result is apprehended. . . i l' . N..
